10 And have made1 us akings and1 bpriests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”
And we shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And aevery creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
b“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him cwho sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and1 ever!”
b“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him cwho sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and1 ever!”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the1 twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped2 Him who lives forever and ever.
